Paris makes an “Air-volution”

05-04-2017

Over the past days, the mayor of Paris has presented her Plan for Air Quality for the city until 2020. In addition to the progressive exclusion of the Crit’Air vignettes 5 and 4 from traffic, the mayor Anne Hidalgo wants to replace the full fleet of the administration with electric and gas-powered vehicles, which would also affect garbage trucks and other service vehicles. Biking offers will also be expanded and a new measurement system for diesel vehicles will be introduced. The goal of this measure, which is called “Air-volution”, is to reduce emissions of toxic substances by 30%.
